Can create a humid atmosphere by spraying the leaves of the plant in the morning to allow the water to evaporate during the day. The water temperature should be 20 º to 22 º C. It is recommended to place the plant on a bed of gravel or clay balls . Pour water in the saucer , you should never see the water on the surface . Never leave the roots in contact with the water in the saucer , if the roots rot .
